As video games become more advanced and more virtual, it will be interesting to see how creativity, decision-making, etc. improves.

Also, what happens when we get to the point where “video-games” (will be called “V-reality games” at that point or something similar) become so advanced that they can send pain-impulses to the brain/body?

You’ve probably heard of the studies that observed will power in young children. Observers offered the kids one cookie (or it may have been a piece of candy) which the kids were free to eat immediately. Before stepping out of the room, researchers explained to the kids that if they (while in possession of the sweets) held off and waited something like 10 minutes until the observers returned, the kids would get an extra cookie. This research has been ongoing for several decades and kids who held off and waited to eat the cookie (in return for an extra cookie 10 minutes later) were far more successful in life decades later.
